Fluid Change

Guys I need some help.

I'm changing the transmission filters and fluid, the front end and rear end as well the transfer case.

I live in Northern Vermont and tow almost all year with the camper, ATV's, and the snowmobiles.

I have heard Mobil 1 is the way to go for everything but I want to see what you guys have changed to.

Thanks.

Honestly, the Mopar stuff is pretty good itself. I just stayed with that.

I am using ATF +4 Royal Purple in the trans and transfer case, Mag-Hytec pan on trans. Temp for the trans max when pulling is 180F.
For diff's I am using Amsoil 75W-90 with Mag-hytec covers on both front and rear. My diff temps have never been over 145F front and rear.

Probably not available in your area...I use COOP fluids. After doing my homework on what blends are best, I found that the quality of their lubes are superior to most everything out there and brewed right here in my home town.

How many quarts of tranny fluid does it take when servicing the 6speed auto? Not a flush, just a driveway service.
